Movie
Haven't watched one for many moons. But this looks interesting. Wondering when it will be screened in Singapore...
The compelling true story of two young ladies: one reaching the heights of the world’s tallest peak and the other descending into depths of despair.
Esther Tan, at age 23, took a chance one day that eventually became a four year journey which culminated in her being part of the first women’s team from Singapore to reach the top of Mount Everest.
Esther Mok, at age 23, was just an ordinary girl. One day, upon returning from a holiday in Hong Kong, she suddenly achieved infamy as the first carrier of SARS into Singapore and notoriety as a super-infector, transmitting the disease to over 90 other people. Among those she infected were her parents, her maternal uncle and her pastor, all of whom died from the disease. ....

Interesting article (Being a Spiritual Loser Pays Off)
This group of very professional publisher types who came from a different world seemed to love the non-academic approach. They laughed at my jokes, but seemed to resonate with someone who could admit to being a spiritual loser for most of his life, someone who could honestly admit it, and freely talk about it. ...(more)

Molder of Dreams
by Clark Mollenhoff
Teachers …
You are the molders of their dreams,
the gods who build or crush
their young beliefs of right or wrong.
You are the spark that sets aflame the
poet's hand, or lights the flame
of some great singer's song.
You are the gods of the young, the very young.
You are the guardian of a million dreams.
Your every smile or frown can heal or pierce a heart.
Yours are a hundred lives, a thousand lives,
yours the pride of loving them, and the sorrow, too.
Your patient work, your touch, make you the gods of hope
who fill their souls with dreams
to make those dreams come true.
Excerpted from the Focus on the Family radio broadcast "Teacher of the Year" featuring Guy Doud. President Ronald Reagan read this poem to Doud when Doud received the 1986 National Teacher of the Year for the United States of America. Used with permission.

An Interesting Funeral
http://www.actsweb.org/articles/article.php?i=802&d=2&c=6
Some time ago, a teacher in Decatur, Georgia, taught her fourth-grade students an invaluable lesson by conducting a funeral. She enthused her class because the funeral was to be conducted for an enemy--the "I can't" enemy.
"Each child was encouraged to list their 'I Can'ts': 'I can't do math.' 'I can't make any friends.' 'I can't hit a home run in softball.' 'I can't give a book report in front of the class,'" and so on.
When the teacher collected all the "I can't" lists, she put them in a box and took them with the class outside where they took turns in digging a grave. In her eulogy she said, "We have provided 'I Can't' with a final resting place and a headstone that contains his epitaph. He is survived by his brothers and sisters, 'I Can,' 'I Will,' and 'I'm Going to Right
Away.' May 'I Can't' rest in peace and may everyone present pick up their lives and move forward in his absence."

Approaching the Pearly Gates
I don't want to drive up to the Pearly Gates in a
shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored
clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long,
perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in
a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking
kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge
of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches
for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there
with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping
to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with
children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of
a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was
really here and that I really lived.

Swimming
Isabelle was not brave with water. Recently, after going to a few shopping centers water play, she is more 'confident' with water.
So, we brought her to swimming pool today. Guess what! She likes swimming & even imitate daddy swimming in the pool!

2011 Resolutions
Read this article on 2011 resolutions by Americans. Glad to know 30% of them got to do with health/weight. But is it surprising that only 5% involved something spiritual? Or that mostly divorced people will want make some changes in this area?
Worth pondering...
